#1 Become BFFs with your water bottle
“Stay hydrated” has become the new mantra for pretty much everything from losing weight to boosting energy, and it does provide some magic for improving health overall, says Tiffany DeWitt, R.D., a dietitian at healthcare company Abbott. Proper hydration levels can help your body clear bacteria more effectively, and if you’re already on the cusp of a cold, more hydration can loosen congestion.
#2 Make your hydration work harder
Although water is the best beverage for hydration, you can also add in more foods with electrolytes and complex carbs, which help your body to better absorb the fluids you drink, says DeWitt. Opt for foods like celery, Greek yogurt, broth-based soups, and fruits and vegetables.
#3 Fine-tune your sleep schedule
Skimping on sleep, or even just getting by on the minimum, can lower your immune response because you’re not giving your body the amount of restorative time it needs to fight off invaders, says Hannah Dove, D.P.T., C.S.C.S., at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. Deep. Restful sleep makes your immune system more efficient, according to a recent study, and sleep deprivation can make you more susceptible to infection.
